Stranger Things – Picture: Netflix
With Stranger Things being one of Netflix’s biggest shows of all time, Netflix has given much of the cast roles in some of their other Netflix Originals. Here’s what Stranger Things cast members can be found in other Netflix Originals.
This is an updated post to one we published two years ago, which we’ve left up just to show how far Netflix has come in casting Stranger Things cast members in other Originals since.
Please note that we haven’t included the entire Stranger Things cast, which according to IMDb, has reached just under 600 cast members since the first season and no doubt grow ahead of the release of season 5 in 2024.
